Peaky Blinder will return with a brand new season and some rather unexpected old faces when the gritty period drama airs in the new year. 

The show, which follows the exploits of the Shelby family as they build a lucrative criminal empire across industrial Birmingham at the turn of the century, is expected to launch its sixth and final series on BBC One in early 2022. 

And a first look at the eagerly anticipated swansong features rival Jewish gang leader Alfie Solomons - portrayed by a brilliant Tom Hardy - face-to-face with nemesis Tommy Shelby, played by Irish star Cillian Murphy.

Bearing an ugly scar across his left cheek, the result of a near-fatal gunshot wound inflicted during the series two finale, he looks in poor shape while confronting the Shelby crime boss. 

'I think I may have written your final act,' Tommy warns him, as the painfully short five-second trailer draws to a close. 

Solomons quickly became a fan favourite after his series two introduction to the show, but he was thought to have been killed off after taking a bullet to the face.

His survival was confirmed as series five drew to a close, but it remains to be seen what fate awaits the embattled criminal when Peaky Blinders returns for a final time. 

The new clip aired for the first time on November 28th, but is yet to be made available online. 

An earlier clip, release to the public more than a week ago, revealed little about the coming series, opting instead for a single shot of Tommy walking through the gloomy cobbled streets or early 20th century Birmingham.
